I just went to Albertsons to buy fruit for a fruit tart. Strawberries were on sale for 2/$5.00. I thought to myself, “Ha, that’s a joke. I’ve seen cheaper at Berkeley Bowl, even when they’re not on sale.” So that’s how I started writing this list… and because I do need a break from packing and being productive.

Things I will miss in California (or in general):

• Berkeley Bowl
• Family and friends (this would actually go before Berkeley Bowl, but trying to keep things consistent haha) - you know who you are!
• The church life in Berkeley
• Living with a bunch of sisters and having roommates
• Living next to the meeting hall :P
• Living next to the apartments (not the apartments themselves, but the people in them :D)
• Game night / SATB / procrastinating / etc. in the student center
• Cheeseboard… and all those other food places I posted about + more
• The view at Lawrence Berkeley Labs
• Spring and summer break trips…. or spring and summer breaks, period
• San Francisco and shopping in San Francisco
• …the Bay Area in general
• Being a foodie in the Bay Area
• Being a college student - not the part about going to classes and being really stressed, but being able to go on late-night boba runs and studying in nice cafes for hours
• My car + Dino + driving
• My guitar
• My tennis racket (unless I can fit it in my luggage)
• Mild weather
• Palm trees
• Naps during the weekdays
• Ranch 99 (the closest Asian grocery store is 30 miles away from where I’m going to live :/)
• …there’s more but it’s dinner time and I’m hungry. To be continued!
